ducktown's strategy to Blossom is exactly what my friend does for solo Blossom. Before starting derby, get a good Blossom task and hopefully maybe 1 or 2 easy non-Blossom 320 point tasks (which are harder to find than in other derby formats).
To increase odds that you will get a quick Blossom task each 30 minute cycle, you'll want to have as many potential quick Blossom tasks prepared. The list of Blossom production and basket tasks is much smaller than normal derbies, and Blossom town tasks are limited to 23x visitors and specific-building tasks, so you could prepare your town to have two of the buildings ready with 16x visitors completed. If you don't pre-stack Blossom tasks, doing the 10 second spacing as ducktown does is a good way to get to see up to 12 possible Blossom tasks each half hour cycle. With pre-stacking, the spacing can be 90-120 seconds to give the possibility of finding a stacked Blossom task, completing it quickly, then being able to find another one when the next task respawns. Depending on luck, this method could turn up multiple Blossom completions every 30 minute cycle.
We have a similar strategy for non-solo Blossom. Depending on how many players we have opted in, we get a certain number of Blossom tasks available at a time. We stack specific Blossom production/basket/town tasks and only seek those tasks plus help/mining. All of our Blossom tasks are completed by each player in under a minute, so we're typically done with derby in a few hours. More time is spent refreshing the board to get our next set of Blossom tasks than actual task execution. I love Blossom derby because there is no more taskboard management for the week after the quick finish. It just takes a team dedicated to doing the pre-derby prep to allow for such a smooth derby. We used to be one of those teams struggling to finish and wondering how the first place team finished so quickly. Now we are that team...
